Meeting people in Lausanne, answered
How do I meet people in Lausanne?
Pick something that repeats every week and go twice. This week there's also Terranova Emerging Ceramics Festival, Sunday Karaoke Open Mic at Barberousse and Tuesday Karaoke Night at Barberousse.
Can I go on my own?
Yes: everything here is the kind of thing people go to alone, from trivia nights that put you on a team to walking tours where everyone's a stranger at the start. The weekly nights at hotels and hostels are open to everyone, not just their guests.
I've just moved to Lausanne. Where do I start?
Choose "I live here" above: your first month in Lausanne, planned one week at a time, then the weekly nights, because going back is how strangers become friends.
